"Cash is King" - GIGABYTE's Latest Promotion Offers Up To £115 Cash Back

👤by Tim Harmer Comments 📅20.06.2016 13:02:14


Intel's mainstream and enthusiast system platforms are already pretty attractive propositions, but in an effort to stimulate yet more interest GIGABYTE are stepping up with a new promotion they're calling Cash is King. Qualifying GIGABYTE motherboards purchased between June 17th and July 15th 2016 will be eligible for up to £115 cash back when also bought with a qualifying Intel CPU, amounting to a pretty large chunk off the initial cost of a brand new system.

Amongst the motherboards that are part of the offer are the brand new X99-Designare EX designs, unveiled at Computex2016 and featuring RGB lighting, great overclocking support and ports adhering to the latest U.2 storage standards. Perhaps unsurprisingly the X99-Designare EX is at the top £45 echelon of the motherboard cash-back tier, reflecting its premium status.

Alongside the Designare EX are GIGABYTE's Gaming motherboard range, including X99, Z170 and H170 models. With a broad range of gaming features including multi-GPU compatibility and overclocking (H170 excluded), the Gaming range is well suited to any taste. Stand-out SKUs are the mATX Z170MX-Gaming 5 and the new Z170X-Ultra Gaming, offering small form factor support and new storage features respectively. The Gaming range motherboards qualify for a rebate of between £12 and £35, depending on model.

Entry-level DDR3 systems are also included in this offer through a comprehensive array of mATX B150-chipset motherboards; if your budget is significantly constrained but still have some spare DDR3 memory lying around, these could be an option.

"But," you say, "the offer is for 'up to £115 cash back". Well here is where the CPUs come in - the concurrent CPU purchase is also eligible for its own equivalent cash back of up to £70, making the maximum cash back from one order £115. The CPUs included in the offer are the current Intel 'Skylake' Core i5 6600K and Core i7 6700K; 'Haswell-E' Core i7 5820K, 5930K and 5960X; and older Haswell Core i5 and i7 models.

Also included in the "Cash is King" promotion are the previously mentioned Haswell CPUs and matching Z97-chipset motherboards. Obviously in part intended to clear older stock, the cash back on these items is a touch more generous than you might expect compared to more modern Skylake and Z170 products.

Redemption is a little convoluted, as is often the case with Cash Back offers of this type. Claims must be made between 30 and 60 days after your initial purchase to http://www.toptechcashback.com/cpumb, and you will need to retain your proof of purchase (in the form of invoice or similar). You should know if your claim has been approved within three days of submitting it.
